3. Even Rogue Mulligan Guide

Even Rogue aims to control the board through the use of Dagger Mastery
and efficient spells like Backstab while using minions to chip away at
opponents' Health.

Your mulligan should primarily consist of 2-drops to curve out alongside
your 1-Mana Hero Power. Bloodsail Raider is especially useful as it
is able to consistently be played as a 2 Mana 3/3 when paired with
Dagger Mastery.

Against Aggro you should additionally look for Backstab to ensure
you can stay in control of the board throughout the early game.

4. Even Rogue Strategy

As an Even deck, you will almost always want to use Dagger Mastery on
Turn 1. Additionally, as Wicked Knife as two charges, you will want to
almost always attack with it every turn as you will have at least 1 Mana to
spare every other turn when you have an Odd amount of Mana to spend. The
main exception to this is if you are planning to use The Coin in the near
future. In this situation, you should hold off attacking as it will be 4 turns
until you have 1 Mana spare to Hero Power again, assuming you make efficient
use of your Even-cost cards.

Going into Turns 2 and 3, you should be aiming to play some of your 2-drops to
develop a board presence, while using your dagger and Backstabs to
control the board. Bloodsail Raider is by far the best 2-drop to
prioritise as it offers the best stats for its cost. If Bloodsail Raider is not
available, you can play any of your other 2-drops. Due to the high number of
Spell Damage minions in your deck, you should not hesitate when using them to
develop a board presence. However, you should prioritise playing
Spellshifter in its 1/4 form as it becomes very easy for opponents to
remove if played as a 4/1.

As you reach turn 4 you will gain access to your high-value minions,
Fal'dorei Strider and Elven Minstrel. When choosing which of
the two cards to play, you should prioritise Fal'dorei Strider first to allow
you to start drawing Spider Ambush!es as soon as possible. Additionally,
playing Elven Minstrel once you already have Ambushes in your deck will allow
you to thin your deck and increase your chance of drawing them.

The deck relies heavily onGadgetzan Auctioneer
later in the game and contains many cheap spells and sources of
Razorpetals to pair with it. This powerful card draw engine pairs
excellently with Academic Espionage, allowing you to draw into many
1-Cost cards that will almost certainly provide a huge boost in tempo. With this
in mind, you should avoid playing Academic Espionage too soon as the cheap
cards will also clog up your deck if you have not already drawn into your
Auctioneer and a few cheap spells.

The deck runs Sap and Cheap Shot specifically for keeping the
board under control. These two cards come with their own pros and cons for
each given situation. As a rule of thumb, Sap is better at dealing with a
large threat, such as a Voidlord, and Cheap Shot is better used on wide
boards as the damage can be split in any way you choose. However, there are
certain situations that can also affect your decision. For example, if you have
multiple Spell Damage minions on the board, it may be better to use Cheap Shot
to take advantage of the situation, even if Sap can do the job more efficiently.
Conversely, if your opponent has a wide board, but only one Taunt minion, you
may find it in your best interest to simply Sap the Taunt and use the remaining
Mana to deal more damage to your opponent if you are close to ending the game.

5. Even Rogue Card Swaps

This deck is very flexible in terms of card choices and can be easily adjusted
to adapt to any meta. The easiest cards to remove from the deck are
Razorpetal Lasher and Spellshifter. Some of the cards you can
try replacing with them are listed below:

6. Budget Even Rogue Deck

This deck relatively cheap to build and the most expensive card in the deck,
Genn Greymane is a core part of its functionality. As a result, there is
no dedicated Budget deck available. However, a single substitution of
Tainted Zealot for Bloodmage Thalnos can dramatically lower the
amount of dust required for the deck.

7. Wild Even Rogue Deck

Even Rogue is a very new archetype and a result, there is currently no
viable Wild builds for the deck.
